Bitcoin is a technological idea, that grew initially like a virus

Bitcoin is a technologic idea, not an asset.

It grew from a need after the 2008 financial crisis, a need for a place to store value/work that would not be inflated away. Where we wouldn’t be a victim of the reverse robin-hood.

I’ve been thinking of this quote from Inception a lot lately.

“An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you”

I think of Satoshi, having this idea in his head and it consuming him. After years of learning and working he puts it out into the world and it grows like a virus. He disappears into the abyss, but the idea lives on.

In some ways it defined and destroyed him.

Shit gives me chills
